Background documents

  • J. H. Lloyd's "History of Highgate", 1888 [pdf]. This document comprises that part of Chapter 2 of Lloyd's work which directly concerns St Mary's, Hornsey.
  • A Homily of Repairing and keeping clean of Churches [pdf]. This is one of the Homilies referred to and recommended in Article XXXV ("Of the Homilies") of the XXXIX Articles. An early Reformation view of the maintenance of places of worship, this homily contrasts the churches' one-off spiritual cleansing of all "superstition" at the Reformation, with the need for ongoing physical repair.
